Gibraltar CP-1047 Conical Pin 0.071 in Hss Nitride

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CP-1047 is a conical pin machined from high speed steel with a nitride finish. It measures 0.071 inches in pin diameter and 2.5 inches in overall length, with a head diameter of 0.1278 inches and a head height of 0.0895 inches. Conical pins are precision locating components used to align, position, or retain mating parts in tooling, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies. The high speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance, while the nitride finish adds surface hardness and mild corrosion resistance. This pin is sold individually and is suited for applications requiring tight positional tolerances.

Conical pins of this type are commonly used in manufacturing, tooling, and industrial maintenance environments. They are installed in fixture plates, jig bodies, die sets, and similar assemblies where repeatable part location is critical. The 0.071-inch pin diameter makes this a fine-tolerance component, appropriate for precision work in machine shops, tool rooms, and production floor maintenance. Installation typically requires a press fit or light driving force depending on hole tolerance and application requirements.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for hardness and durability under repeated use
• Nitride finish adds surface hardness and mild corrosion resistance
• 0.071-inch pin diameter for fine-tolerance locating applications
• 2.5-inch overall length accommodates deeper fixture or assembly installations
• Conical head profile aids alignment and seating during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard conical locating pin for use in tooling fixtures, jig bodies, die sets, and precision mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.071-inch nominal pin diameter.

Installation Notes

Conical pins are typically installed by toolmakers or maintenance machinists using a press or mallet depending on the fit class of the receiving hole. Ensure the mating hole is clean, free of burrs, and dimensionally verified before installation. Do not force the pin into an undersized hole, as this may damage the pin or the workpiece. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment lockout protocols when servicing live tooling or machinery.
